Before getting into Arturia’s Delay Tape-201 plugin, let’s briefly overview Loopcloud and what it has to offer.

At a glance, Arturia’s Delay Tape-201 is instantly recognizable as an emulation of the iconic Roland RE-101 Space Echo.
If you want a delay that gets you closer to a literal space echo, check out AudioThing’s Moon Echo plugin.
Arturia isn’t the first developer to offer a take on Roland’s famous hardware unit, but this offering is one of the most accurate.
One of the things I like most about the Delay Tape-201 plugin is that the Mode Selector lets you cycle through ideas quickly.
Modes 1-4 are in the Repeat category, 5-11 are Reverb and Echo, and if you go all the way, it’s Reverb only.
You get pretty in-depth control over all areas, starting with the Repeat Rate. You can sync to the tempo of your project, run free, or separate the left and right for more diverse effects.
The emulated spring reverb tank adds ambience and atmosphere that can be lush and dreamy or quite intense.
The EQ section allows you to shape your sound to craft the perfect character; Delay Tape-201 offers more than just a vintage 70s vibe.
The plugin is an excellent way to make any sound more interesting and exciting.
You can go pretty deep with the controls, but if you’re looking for inspiration, making a few small adjustments, then cycling through the modes is a good way to go.
Although they can get pricey, I’m a fan of Arturia’s vintage effects and instrument emulations. Delay Tape-201 is lovely!
